The Alignment Atlas
What do you want to understand?
The Alignment Atlas is a collection of lenses for noticing how alignment works across different systems: what becomes aligned, how it happens, how forms of alignment come apart, and what changes across scale and time.
There are many ways through it. Start with a question, a case, a mechanism, or a dissociation.
What kinds of alignment are there?
Explore the different properties we call alignment, and how they relate.
Explore kinds →How does alignment happen?
Explore the signals, constraints, interactions, and processes that create and maintain alignment.
Explore dynamics →How can kinds of alignment come apart?
See cases where one form of alignment is present while another is absent, or where changing one disrupts another.
Explore dissociations →What does alignment look like in real systems?
Start with concrete examples from organisms, firms, markets, teams, AI systems, and more.
Explore cases →Prefer to see everything at once?
